I drove the Turbo and can really feel the 300HP and 305 Ft Lbs torque. The Turbowerx shop installation is very clean and compact, as shown by the photos at Car Domain.

FWIW - I don't have any connection to Turbowerx

Take Care,

Is there a muffler? Did he do the dyno run without a pipe from the turbo to the tailpipes?

Do you know the boost pressure? How long has it been boosted? Why is he selling it?

That pipe that crosses from the passenger side exhaust manifold to the turbo looks pretty low, any dragging/scraping issues?

How's turbo lag? There's a long way from the exhaust to the turbo and then an even longer way from the turbo through the intercooler (I assume that's the black box opposite the turbo) back to the intake with a lot of sharp bends. The high compression probably helps to keep lag to a minimum, but still...
